Pondering

The last few days have been a test of my will, compassion and general philosophy. I typically prefer to be upbeat and positive about all things, yet I've been struggling lately and I don't like it.

While I strive to handle my own problems privately, I find that others are quite content to share theirs with me. Usually they are just wanting someone to listen to them without fear of repercussions or being gossiped about, though lately people have been asking for help/suggestions. That is where the problem lies - see while I may not agree with a solution someone has developed, it is still their decision to make and I will keep my mouth shut about it. Now they are asking for my opinion and that opens up a whole can of worms because if you ask my opinion on something, I won't lie to you. I will try to be tactful but I won't lie.

Oh I think I'll just become a hermit!

Good Grief!

It's been over a month since I posted last! Where did my time go, well let me tell you...... since 12/5 there has been Christmas, New Year's, birthdays for my husband, my daughter, my sister, my niece and my nephew. Fan Night at the Haygoods (met several of the mb'ers), the transmission went out of my vehicle and... oh yeah, I started a new job!!! Crazy fun times.

We always try to get the whole family together for the holidays. It's so much fun to see the kids (big and little) open their gifts, play card games and loving tease each other. And then there's the food.... luckily I only put on a couple of pounds and I'm working on losing them and then some.

I went to work for a temp agency that placed me at the hospital in the Business Office and I really like it there. They are doing some changes so I'm hoping they will have a full time job for me at the end of my contract. I've talked to a couple of people and they want to keep me.

In the mean time I'm going to enjoy my work. I get to work in various computer systems and a variety of insurance items, so while I may not be working with directly with the public I feel like I'm still helping people.

Going to end for now as the rest of the month should be tame enough to write a little bit each week.

Ciao!
